Hi, I’m after some advice. A few years back I fitted Ohlins coil overs on my 2002 Carrera 4. 2 or 3 years ago Ohlins did a recall of the front struts and supplied new struts with Elephant Racing uni ball top mounts. After about 5000 miles and 2 years a knock has developed from the front near side which my excellent Indy has diagnosed as play in the uni ball bearing.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is it possible to just replace the bearing with an off the shelf item. I don’t really want to shell out for complete new top mounts. My Indy feels uniball bearings are much more of a track than road item and are likely to be short lived. If I can’t find a bearing I may just live with it and see if it gets worse.
Your thoughts and advice would be much appreciated.
